Mini Truck P/S hose Napa part number 7-2142

[TMACK]

This info may already be floating around out there somewhere but I couldn't find it. From an OEM pump to a mini truck box, the pressure side hose I ended up with is for a 1982 60 series. 25 inches long. A little longer than I wanted but seems to work. 26 bucks

Nice, what did you coat those intake and exhaust manifolds with, ceramic powder coat?

The curly-Q routing of the pressure hose is not ideal. High pressure hoses should not be twisted in such a manor. I am not sure how big a deal this is as I do not know the maximun presssure output of the pump.

P.S.: be sure to tighten up your sector shaft nut!

very clean looking engine, I'd like to know what you used on that exaust manifold too.

 

[TMACK]

Dan, Thanks for the input. That's the kind of feedback I was hoping to get.
The quest continues. As for the manifold coating, got it done @
performance about $275.00. Back to me in less than a week.

twist

is it possible to loosen and twist the ends to get a better run on that line?

 

[TMACK]

I'm pretty sure I've twisted it in all possible positions. Be nice if the ends swiveled but they are fixed. Here's the first way I had it and without the insulator.

cut the end going to the pump and re flare it. it will take you 15 min. good luck

 

[TMACK]

Er um...... a little embarrassed here that I didn't think of that myself.
It's done and looks right. Thanks a ton cruiseronly.

That's what the board is for....help.

Post pics of the fix...

 

[TMACK]

You bet, here it is.

Are you running a factory pump or saginaw? I'm going this way soon and appreciate the post on the line. thanks Ken

Junker, that's a factory 2F PS pump.

Hose installation looks perfect now.

 

[TMACK]

Jim's right of course. I came across this other hose kit first while on the hunt and thought I had it figured out. However, the pressure side hose will get you from the mini truck gear box to a GM pump. (canned ham style). Even with the five fitting that shipped with it, I couldn't make the connection to the OEM pump. Bummer cause it's good quality. If I lived in a place where fittings could be found, probably would have worked out. I'll save it for future projects. Return side worked out fine. Purchased from Classic Performance. 1-800-522-5004. Part #5356THK $75.00

Thats the kit I need...

I'll subscribe to this thread and look into the kit shown above. I believe I only need to fab a high pressure hose and I can wing the rest with hose and a mintruck pws cooler. Thanks for the update here and the info.

Here's a pic of the hose I ended up going with on my OEM pump to mini-truck box conversion:

It is NAPA # 7-1843 and ran me a little less than $40. This is how we ran it:

Also considered using this one:

but it rubbed just slightly on the pre-heater hose. It you didn't have the preheater, it would work just fine. Both hoses have the 16mm inverted flare fittings at both ends......

Nice install, I notice you dumped the rag joint for a universal. Is that 1" double D and what spline?
